Majestic Wine Glasgow Giffnock

You know, at first I was inclined to go with three stars for Majestic. Their selection isn’t any more expansive than most supermarkets, and neither are the discounts.
However, we had a gift certificate here and while normally if we’d gone in here we probably would not have bought anything, we used the GC and bought a case of Rioja on special. Well kids, that Rioja is bleeping amazing. Even without our GC it would have been a good deal.
As I tasted that fine wine and realized what a find it was, my mind flashed back to my experience at Majestic and things fell into place. One – they do free wine tastings. Yay. Free wine is always fine. Two – the staff are unbelievably upbeat and passionate about wine. Three – while the mix’n’match cases of wine aren’t necessarily a great deal, the cases of one kind of wine *are.*
This is a great place to stock up with tasty wines. The staff are happy to help you make the best choice, and they may even offer you a sample!

Majestic? Meh.
This branch is a warehouse-​type affair with ample parking.
Wine must be bought by the case (6 bottles), beer likewise. You can purchase spirits singly if so required.
To be honest, I don’t really see the point of these places — the wine they stock doesn’t tend to be any different to those on sale by the supermarkets, the prices are more or less the same and the range is probably smaller due to the fact that they have cases, rather than bottles on display.
Strangely, every time I’ve been to this store, I’ve been the only customer there. Two members of staff vs. me and my girl. Not a great environment condusive to large scale alcohol purchasing!
My biggest gripe is that they don’t appear to have a very good inventory/​stock control. Each time i’ve been, there have always been spaces where stock should be. Indeed, I’ve made a couple of out the way trips to buy something specific only to find they’ve not had it in for weeks (despite apparently having it available to order on their website which comes from the nearest store… duh!)
So there you go — Majestic Wine — filling a gap in the market that doesn’t exist, catering to customers that don’t really appear to exist, trying to sell stock that doesn’t really exist.

Oh boy, this place has every kind of wine you could imagine! I’m not exactly a wine connoisseur and I’m not a big alchohol fan either but from the wine’s I’ve tried from here even I can tell that they are a cut above most.
I went here with a couple of friends recently as we were planning on having a girly night out, and what better way to have a girly night than get a nice bottle of wine, or two. We chose a pinot grigio and a bottle of rose and both tasted great!
I can definitely recommend this place if you’re into good quality wine then you will love it or if you’re planning on having a dinner party then you can choose a delicious bottle of wine to go with your meal that will compliment it perfectly. The staff here are also very knowledgable and friendly so they’ll be able to point you in the right direction, if, like me, you don’t know know your chardonnays from your lardonnays (I just made that one up, so don’t be surprised if it’s not on the shelves).
